B&G V100B Class B VHF GPS500 spoke

B&G V100-B Class B VHF Radio System with GPS-500

Enhance your safety and communication on the water with the B&G V100-B, a powerful and flexible modular VHF radio designed for the serious sailor. This comprehensive system combines a high-performance Class B AIS transponder with a feature-rich VHF radio, all housed in a discreet black box unit to save precious space at your helm. Engineered for seamless integration into your existing B&G electronics suite, the V100-B is the central communication hub for any cruising or racing vessel, ensuring you can see, be seen, and communicate with confidence in any conditions.

The modular design allows you to mount the main unit out of sight, connecting up to four wired H100 handsets and four wireless H60 handsets for complete vessel-wide communication. Whether you´re at the nav station, on deck, or in the cockpit, you´ll have crystal-clear audio and full control at your fingertips.

Key Benefits

* Complete Situational Awareness: The integrated Class B AIS transponder not only allows you to see other AIS-equipped vessels on your chartplotter but also transmits your own position, significantly reducing the risk of collision in busy waterways and low-visibility conditions.
* Flexible, Clutter-Free Installation: The black box design keeps your helm clean and uncluttered. Install the main unit in a locker or behind a bulkhead and place the compact, intuitive handsets wherever you need them most.
* Expandable Communication Hub: Start with a single handset and expand your system as needed. With support for up to eight total handsets (4 wired, 4 wireless), the V100-B grows with your needs, creating a robust intercom system for easy communication with your entire crew.
* Seamless B&G Ecosystem Integration: Connect the V100-B to your B&G MFD via NMEA 2000 to unlock advanced features. Use the Track Your Buddy feature to display the position of up to five friends on your chart, and initiate DSC calls directly from your plotter.
* Reliable and Independent Safety: The included GPS-500 antenna provides a dedicated, high-precision GPS source for the VHF and AIS functions, ensuring your DSC distress calls and AIS position reports are accurate, even if your primary navigation system goes down.
